The Ohio Republicans have an un-
questionable majority over their oppo-
nents, bait unless they cage Foraker
for the balance of the campaign there
is no telling what may happen on
election day.-[St. Louis Post-Dis-
patch, Dem.
In truth and in fact the difference
between George and the Socialists is
only that between tweedledum and
tweedledee-a difference Of degree,
not kind, and measured by the con-
trast between frank and an evasive
declaration. [ChicagoTribune.
Without any issue to go before the
people with the Republican party OF
the United States is in about the same
shape as boy in a rowboat without
oars and ten miles from land. They
may.get there, but it will be very
long time.-[Little Rock Gazette,
Dem.
Nov that the administration has
shown disposition to avoid any dan
gerous boarding of funds in the treas
ury, q large proportion of the capital
which has recently been hidden will
be restored to trade channels, and
money will again become plentiful
st. Louis Globe-Democrat, Rep.
Postmaster Corse, of Boston, mis-
takes in saying: II am the servant
of President Cleveland. Postmast-
ers, like all public officers, are ser
wants of the people. The theory that
Executive subordinates are servants
of the President is at the bottom of
one of the greatest dangers and abuses
of the old spoils system.[-New York
World, Dem.
However much the people may rev.
erence the names Of Lincoln and
Grant, the general verdict will be that
their sons must take their chances for
popular favors on their personal mer-
its alone, as did their fathers. The lev
el-headed genius of Democracy cannot
be led far with reflected light, the
mere inheritance OF a lustrous name.
Il Boston Globe, Dem.
Only one course is open for US to
take. Naturalization must be made a
more difficult process, with longer
period OF probationary residence, and
the execution of the law must be
stripped of its formal, perfuctory char
acter. and made careful, deliberate
and thorough. We may thank Most
for having directed attention, in his
own dramatic way, to the urgent needs
in this regard.-[Povidence Journal,
Rep.
At first it makes one shudder to read
that ten persons were publicly whipped
in the jail yard at Wilmington last Sat-
urday. People talk of Delaware as a
century behind the times. And yet,
if we could have whipping-post, with
. good lively switch tender, right here
in Connecticut, to thrash wife-beaters,
he would be pretty busy fellow for
awhile, and every decent man would
wish him success in his mission
Hartford Courant, Rep.
The American Board should use
this opportunity to examine itself and
be ready to yield in non-essentials in
the direction Of liberty, even without
being asked, while as for the test
questions, these trustees for multi
tude of givers must likewise inquire
of themselves whether or not they are
answering the end of the organization
in their present method Of commits
sioning men to preach to the heathen.
-IBoston Advertiser, Rep.
The New York farmers are having
an awful time. George and McGlynn
are telling them that land taxation is
their only hope; Governor Hill is
preaching to great crowds of them
that personal property must be taxed
as well as land; while Senator's
Eyarts, Hiscock and Sherman are ex-
horting them to embrace the protec..
ton ideas of the Republicans as the
only real remedy for present ills. Hill
draws the biggest audiences. The
farmers are not fools.-[Springfield
Republican, Ind.
There is no consistent escape from
denomination of Mr.. Blaine by the
Republicans. From the Republican
standpoint, the manhood of the party
requires it, and the honor OF the can
didate demands it. From any stand
point, the omission to do it would be
rated cowardly, ungrateful and
illogical, and the Blaine contingent In
Republicanism would be bound
fatally to revenge upon any other Re-
publican candidate the wrong and the
insult which retirement would inf1ict
upon the man from Maine Brooklyn
Eagle, Dem. q
The effervescent sentimentalists
who are giving free rein to morbid inn.
aginations in framing indictments
against the public need to be remind.
ed that the public is not the agent OF
punishment in this case. The Anar-
chists were tried. convicted and SEN
fenced. They appealed to the Su-
preme Court and the decision of the
lower court was affirmed. All this
was the work of the courts, the logical
development of law processes, and the
public is not excited over what every
reasonable man expected.-[Chicago
Inter-Ocean, Rep.
These "trusts" which began with
the Standard Oil, and are gradually
extending over the whole field of pro
duction, are as much opposed to the
genius of our institutions as Socialists
or Nihilists. They are gigantic mon
opolies, and the purpose is to do by
combinations of capital what could
never be done under fair and honest
competition. 1t may be necessary ir
the near future for the people to de
to them what they are trying to do t.
all rivals--i. e., freeze them out

The New York Sun argues that tn,
Mormons have given sufficient pledge
that il Statehood for Utah is grantet
they will never return to bigamy o
poIygamy. The difficulty about suci
pledges is that the Mormon holds tn
